It seems odd to me that we are going to add complexity to help people who need to publish databases but remove complexity required by people who need to publish large, complex documents adhering to large, complex DTDs. Aren't large, complex documents with large, complex DTDs the reason we are *here*? No, that's what "full" SGML is for. The ethos of XML is simplicity, isn't it? Much as I love Parameter Entities, they're just another complexity to explain to the implementors. ///Peter, catching up at last
